Unlike some rivals the new Lambo will not feature a DSG transmission because it would be “too complex and too expensive” to engineer. Instead, the new Murcielago may come with the option of a sequential seven-speed manual, with a more conventional seven-speed paddle shift as standard. A traditional open gate manual will almost certainly not be available this time round.

Well, I'm betting it will have a twin-clutch manual. The tech is already well tested inside the Audi group in a heap of different things, and it's one of the biggest ways to get the cars to record lower results on the Euro combined/city cycle testing (CO2/km and L/100 etc), as the test rules treat these trannys as 'automatics' giving a much more favourable result over full-manual 'boxes by allowing the test to be run in whatever gear the box selects in 'D' (ie- the highest gear possible). The CO2 thing is a huge deal in Europe and the UK (cars pay annual roadtax according to CO2 per km output in the UK and elsewhere), so I can't see them not going down that road.

Lambo's are at their peak right now(RWD FTW), and that door shit is horrid.

Umm you do know the Murci and Gallardo are AWD?

And guys its the new Lamborghini, i think we can put some trust in the designers, it aint going to look bad, its going to be fantastic.

yeah beacuse 700hp in rwd is a sensible idea....... sure they may be the odd company putting that amount of power in a rwd car (such as zonda) but if they want it to have good performance on paper as well as not have lots of them wrapped around trees they will stick with the awd platform that they know and trust.

hopefully they bring out RWD version

my new favourite Lamborghini is the LP550-2 Valentino balboni

why would you want a RWD version if they give awd? how will you be able to utilise over 700hp? you could do with half that hp in rwd and still reach the same numbers of 0-100 times ect....

If anything it should be awd and maybe have an option to turn the front power off for show boating, but really asif you couldn't make some awesome wheel spin with all 4 wheels with 700hp anyway...

Yeah, would be 4189412972410 x hotter without the dodgy looking door :lol:

depending when they decide to release it, and for all we know all the exterior pannels could change by then....

anyway i dont think the doors look ugly, sure they maybe eccentric.... but christ sake its a lambo, since when do they look decent? They look awesome in their own lamborghini type of way that no other car company could get away with...

i can only imagine that "horrible door shit" feeds some monster air intake or intercooler... therefore it has purpose, so who gives a f#$k what it looks like..

Right on :D

can say something bout the doors but will turn more heads than anything on the road pretty much. the styling might be for functional purposes which is why it looks weird at the best of times but people will take notice of it more than say a HSV with some lumpy cams or a WRX with a big wing on the back, the cars silhoute is menacing enough.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
